    Are You a Running W*nker?: The...

    Essential listening for every runner – it's time to find out, could you too be a Running W*nker? 
    Alison Stankard AKA Totes Inappropes is a Running W*nker. 
    But it didn’t happen overnight. A few morning stumbles around the block in a bid to become pert-bottomed somehow turned into something else: 5ks, 10ks, marathons and even ultra marathons. Then one day, whilst looking at her lack of toenails, embarrassingly large collection of training shoes and buffs, it dawned on her: she had become a Running W*nker. 
    Some people can go out for an occasional run and not obsess over every little detail. They might not think to take a photo of their hill sprints to post on social media or be able to recite their splits from the race that got them a PB to anybody who’ll listen. All impossible if you’re a true Running W*nker. 
    There are a lot of books about running. Serious books with marathon plans, advice on nutrition and injury prevention. This book isn’t that. It’s a sweary, honest celebration of all the things that Running W*nkers new and old get up to: sh*tting in bushes, going down the stairs on your arse because your legs won’t bend the day after a marathon, lying about how much trainers cost and plotting how to rig the London Marathon ballot. 
    The question is: are you a Running W*nker too? 
    For runners who pretend it’s all about health and fitness, this non-fiction humour story nails the topic with the best, most top-tier stories of sports-and-exercise madness. From jogging “for recreation” to living for the latest running obsession, it’s a brutally honest celebration of what you do when you’re definitely a Running W*nker. 
    For fans of Juliet Mcgrattan (Sorted), Bryony Gordon (Mad Girl), Paul Tonkinson (26.2 Miles to Happiness), and Steve Till (The Run of Life).
